Boat Overview
The Moody 39, designed by renowned naval architect Angus Primrose and built by A.H. Moody & Son Ltd., exemplifies British craftsmanship and forward-thinking yacht design. Moody was ahead of their time in maximizing space and comfort, fitting an impressive amount of boat into just 39 feet. This well-maintained vessel, with its center cockpit configuration, offers excellent protection and control for both offshore cruising and coastal exploration. Ideal for families or seasoned sailors, the Moody 39 presents a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a dependable blue-water cruiser in excellent condition.
Engine and Machinery
Equipped with its original engine, a fixed propeller, and shaft drive, the Moody 39 also features a Kawasaki GD700A portable generator and a bow thruster for easy handling in marinas. The sloop rig, with aluminium spars and stainless steel standing rigging, offers versatile sail options including mainsails, headsails, storm jibs, and a multi-coloured spinnaker. Inside, the spacious accommodations include eight berths across three cabins, two heads, and a fully equipped galley, making it ideal for extended cruising. The current owner has meticulously maintained the yacht, ensuring it remains in top condition and ready for its next adventure.
Navigation and Safety
A full suite of navigation aids, including radar, chart plotter, autopilot, and depth sounder, ensure safe passage in all conditions. Ample fuel and water capacities make this yacht perfect for long-distance adventures, and the inclusion of a 3.2m RIB tender with a Yamaha outboard offers additional flexibility for exploring. Whether you’re planning coastal getaways or extended ocean voyages, the Moody 39 is ready to take you there in comfort and style.
